I'm trying out nginx and porting my existing apache configuration to nginx. I have managed to reroute the codeigniter url's successfully, but I'm having a problem with one particular controller whose name coincides with a directory in site root.
I managed to make my codeigniter url's work as it did in Apache except that, I have a particular url say http://localhost/hello which coincides with a hello directory in site root. Apache had no problem with this. But nginx routes to this directory instead of the controller.
My reroute structure is as follows
http://host_name/incoming_url => http://host_name/index.php/incoming_url
All the codeigniter files are in site root.
My nginx configuration (relevant parts)
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to index.html
index index.php index.html index.htm;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php/$request_uri;
#apache rewrite rule conversion
if (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^(.*)/?$ /index.php?/$1 last;
}
# Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location
# include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules
}
location ~ \.php.*$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
# NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
# With php5-cgi alone:
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# With php5-fpm:
#fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
I'm new to nginx and I need help in figuring out this directory conflict with the Controller name. I figured this configuration from various sources in the web, and any better way of writing my configuration is greatly appreciated.
